Recovering From Cluster Headache This Time
Man! I am not doing well these days physically speaking!
Around 2 pm a couple of days ago I started getting an icepick headache right behind my right eye and massively nauseous and had to take meds and go to bed in my room with all the blinds down. I was sobbing and rocking back and forth in a fetal position from the pain and misery, hacking and trying not to hurl on my own bed (I kept a bucket near-by, just in case!) It took a couple of hours to finally get relief from a combo of things including cannabis (a life saver for migraines and clusters), caffeine, tylenol, and a left-over muscle relaxer! Then I fell asleep and crashed out until 5 am the next day!
Ugh!
I'm doing better today. Been hiding in the dark for 2 days. I can finally take a little light and sound without getting sick. My screens are turned down almost to the full extent and still it's hard to be on my PC or iPad for more than a few minutes at a time. Pardon my absence-- I have been struggling a bit lately.
Otherwise, I'm feeling great emotionally. Calm and secure... no anxiety.
The weather is just doing numbers on me, though, apparently.
